L r e ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JUNE 13. 1991 PAGE 3 Public Hearing Jack Bolowskie (PD 46) (Agenda Item V) Chairman Garcia read the agenda item into the record as follows: "Public Hearing - Consider a request by Mr. Jackie Radke, et al, to amend Tract 1 of Planned Development No. 46, by amending the use regulations to allow and define a fitness training center as an allowable use and to amend the existing site plan to allow the dual use of fitness training center and day care center in the same building. The property is located in a portion of Block A, Lot 2 of Deer Crest Addition, a tract of land in the William Perrin Survey, Abstract No. 708, recorded in Cabinet G, Page 287, Collin County Deed Records; more particularly described as being located at 608 S. Jupiter, south of Allen Church of Christ." Mr. Jack Bolowskie, prospective purchaser of the property and owner of the establishment, presented the request to the Commission. He explained the uses he is requesting. There will be a day care which will serve students first grade and up, to approximately age 12 or 13. The fitness training center will offer classes to school-age students during the day and students and adults in the evenings. The program is designed to assist with the latch key problems in the area. They will be attempting to complement the programs offered at school, with the use of computers and a research library. Mr. Keener stated that the request before the Commission is the additional use of the property, being fitness training center. A day care is already an allowable use. Commissioner Fulk questioned whether the after school care is equal to a day care center definition. Mr. Keener stated that it does. Chairman Garcia opened the public hearing. With no one wishing to speak for or against the request, Chairman Garcia closed the public hearing. Commissioner Biggs stated he was in favor of the requested use Commissioner Gallagher asked if the parking requirement is satisfied for the fitness center as well as the day care center. Mr. Keener stated that the site plan meets the requirements when calculated separately by the two uses. If the establishment is used entirely as a training center, the parking would not be satisfied. Commissioner Fulk stated that he would agree with the methodology used for calculating the parking. He stated that the use would be appropriate. He had a concern regarding the definition of a fitness training center. Commissioner Gallagher expressed concern regarding the parking requirements in the event the structure ever reverted totally to a training center. D C L ALLEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JUNE 13, 1991 PAGE 4 Public Hearing Jack Bolowskie (PD No. 46) (Cont.) (Agenda Item V) Chairman Garcia discussed the process of traffic flow. Mr. Keener stated the fire marshaD has approved the site plan and fire lanes. Chairman Garcia questioned whether the landscaping would have automatic irrigation. Mr. Keener stated that the site plan does not include automatic irrigation. Mr. Bolowskie stated that the landscaping would be irrigated through the use of a garden hose on a timer. The Commission discussed the fact that the previous site plan did include automatic irrigation of the landscaping. Mr. Bolowskie stated he would amend his request to include automatic, underground irrigation. Commissioner Fulk requested that the square footage of the building (4200 sq. ft.) be shown on the site plan. The definition of the use of fitness training center, as proposed by staff, was discussed. That definition is as follows: "A facility where educational classes or instructions are given for weight lifting, exercise, martial arts, and related activities." Chairman Garcia questioned whether the use could be tied to a time frame for occupancy. Mr. Keener advised a time limit could be placed on the site plan, but not the use itself. Commissioner Fulk suggested a time frame of one year be given to request a building permit. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Biggs and a second by Commissioner Gallagher, the Commission voted 4 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to approve the request with the stipulation that the landscape have automatic sprinklers, the building permit to be requested within one year from City Council approval of the site plan, and the square footage be shown on the site plan. FINDINGS: 1. The use is compatible. 2. The parking requirements were discussed and were determined to be satisfied because with the nature of the use. 3. All city requirements were met. 4. Definition of Fitness Training Center as stated by city staff was accept- able.
